Betfred Kingsway, Thurnscoe opening times
Betfred, 12 Kingsway, Thurnscoe, Rotherham, S63 0TQ. Licensed by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on Kingsway in Thurnscoe. Although the address is Rotherham, Thurnscoe is in the borough of Barnsley. Doors open at 09:00 on weekdays, 08:30 on Saturdays and 09:30 on Sundays, and close at 22:00.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Why 22:00? Betting premises licences in England and Wales carry a default condition under the Gambling Act 2005 that bars gambling between 22:00 and 07:00 unless the licensing authority removes it, which is why most high-street bookmakers close at 22:00. Individual branch times can still change at short notice, so check before a late trip.

How the live opening times panel works

What the status means
